Red Shahan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yes I'm in need
Of a righteous one-night stand
Well it ain′t free
No it ain't free
It's gonna cost me an arm and a leg
Cause my baby don′t call no more
While I′m stuck in three oh three
With my hands beneath my feet
Put your money where your mouth is
Long as I can get what she's been gettin for free
Ho for free
She came home early
Pants around her ankles
All I could do was turn and smile
Said how does it feel
How does it feel
It′s gonna cost me a mouthful now
And now my baby don't call no more
Found her layin on the very same floor
While I′m stuck in three oh three
With my hands tied to my feet
Put your money where your mouth is
As long as I can get what she's been gettin for free
Ho for free
And now my baby don′t call no more
Found her laying on the very first floor
While I'm stuck in three oh three
With my hands beneath my feet
Put your money where your mouth is
Long as I can get what she's been gettin for free
Ho for free
Ho for free
Ho for free
The lyrics to Red Shahan's song "303" paint a picture of a man who is feeling lost and rejected by his lover. He is searching for a "righteous one-night stand" to ease his pain but knows it won't come free. His girlfriend has stopped calling him, and when he returns home, he finds her lying on the floor, indicating that she may have cheated on him. He is stuck in "three oh three" with his "hands beneath his feet," suggesting that he is paralyzed and unable to move on from the situation.
The chorus repeats the same lyrics, "Put your money where your mouth is, long as I can get what she's been getting for free, ho for free," indicating that the singer is willing to pay for something that his girlfriend had been getting for free, presumably sex. He seems to be hurt but still willing to engage in extramarital affairs.
Overall, the song portrays a sense of desperation and heartbreak, with the singer feeling left behind and needing to find a way to escape his pain.
